Andy Warhol
The American artist and filmmaker Andy Warhol was born Andrew Warhola in 1928. There has for years been quite a bit of confusion to where and when Andy Warhol was born, but according to Andy's two older brothers and the birth certificate that was filed in Pittsburgh in 1945, he was born on August 6th in Pittsburgh. Whether or not this is the day he was born hasn't been proved, but it was on this date he would celebrate his birthday. However, there is no doubt that he died at 6:31 A.M. on Sunday, February 22nd, 1987, at the New York Hospital after a gallbladder operation. He was born in 1928 in Pittsburgh to immigrant parents, Julia and Ondrej Warhola from the Slovak-Polish border, who brought him up as a Catholic. His father, Ondrej Warhola worked as a construction worker and later as a coal miner. Andy Warhol
